Manchester police said they are continuing to search for three men they believe are responsible for a shooting at a barber shop Thursday night.

Police said two men walked into the barber shop before the shooter.

"The victim was shot several times," said Capt. Nick Willard. "There were numerous rounds shot by the assailant."

The victim was shot in the leg several times but was released from a hospital about midnight. No one else in the barber shop was injured.

On Friday, Andrew's Barber Shop was open for business, but the door was locked when News 9 tried to go inside.

Police said they are still trying to determine a motive.

"At this point, we are still trying to ascertain a reason why he was deliberately targeted," Willard said.

Police said the three men involved were Hispanic, and two appeared to be in their 30s. Witnesses described the shooter as in his 20s and wearing baggy clothing and a hooded sweatshirt.
